Book excerpt: Dark prophecies and ominously symbolic events beset the romance of Edgar, Master of Ravenswood, and Lucy Ashton, daughter of the man who has displaced the ancient Ravenswood family from its ancestral home. Sir William Ashton, the wily and self-seeking Lord Keeper of the Great Seal of Scotland, has used his power to claim the Ravenswood estate, leaving Edgar to brood on his family's wrongs in the lonely tower of Wolf's Crag. His desire for vengeance is challenged and eventually defeated by his love for Sir William's gentle daughter, but his new spirit of reconciliation is frustrated by political divisions and the determined opposition of Lucy's domineering mother.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Edgar, the brooding young master of Ravenswood, retains none of his ancestral estates but a crumbling castle. Embittered by the lawsuits that have stripped him of his patrimony and shortened his despairing father's life, he determines to confront Sir William Ashton, the lawyer whose machinations led to the decline of Ravenswood's fortunes. But Edgar's plans take an abrupt turn upon meeting Sir William's lovely daughter, Lucy, and a romance blossoms against the tumultuous backdrop of the two warring families. Sir Walter Scott's immensely popular Waverly novels enthralled readers with their dashing mix of historical fiction, romance, and revenge. This installment, originally published in 1819, takes place in the early 1700s amid Scotland's Lammermuir Hills. Edgar and Lucy's troubled relationship — beset by social, political, and religious barriers — reflects Scotland's struggles in the early 18th century, as the country and its citizens were torn asunder by the Jacobite rebellions. Scott's treatment of the lovers' inexorable destiny unfolds in a gothic atmosphere, punctuated by supernatural elements and symbolic imagery. The inspiration for Donizetti's opera Lucia di Lammermoor, this novel remains a compelling example of its author's ability to transmute the effects of historical change into literary art.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Bride of Lammermoor (1819), by Scottish writer Walter Scott, is a historical novel following the love affair of two young people from opposing families. The story was initially published anonymously. In the introduction, Scott reveals that he became aware of this fireside story through his mother, Anne Rutherford. A lawyer friend then provided him with dozens of original sources. Previously, he writes, he wouldn't have ventured to publish this account, but since a poet has recently talked about the affair, he feels that he can now do the same. The story is based on a real incident and all fictional personas in The Bride of Lammermoor can be traced to real people. The tale takes places in a hilly range of southeast Scotland, around 1807. Edgar Ravenswood is a gallant young man. Edgar's father was a royalist and supported King James VII during the "Glorious" Revolution of 1688. In the opening scene, Edgar is attending his father's funeral. King James VII, who supported Catholic rights and was a patron of France, lost the war, and the Ravenswood family was stripped of much of their power and wealth.
